to speak for a moment about the cia, general petraeus when he came to the cia about 15 months ago appointed as his deputy the then acting director michael morell, who is a career agency analyst. michael morell has stepped in as acting director again. i think that's from the standpoint of the cia and the stability of u.s. intelligence efforts the most positive thing you could say. morell is a career guy. he's trusted by the white house. he was trusted by petraeus, and so you have a smoother transition than you sometimes do in these situations. >> let me get back to richard engel about this. you know, you know these guys. you know as a military guy covering our fights overseas, the combat operations in iraq especially, this man was almost at the general mcarthur level just a few years ago. people were talking about him being the republican candidate for the presidency in the current election cycle. this is a big fall. this is a big fall down from where he was in our national estima estimate. >> it's almost the fall of an american hero. this last decade didn't create very many heros in the pub

and that may also have repercussions for the cia or for someone in the cia. that remains to be seen. but i'm a very strong believer that we need a strong and effective covert action capability and intelligence capability, and it's a sad thing if it in any way diminishes those capabilities. >> general petraeus' resignation comes just days before he was supposed to testify before congress about the benghazi attack. cnn intelligence correspondent, suzanne kelly, joins me now. good morning. so is there any apparent link that you've been able to find to the timing of the resignation and the upcoming benghazi hearings he was supposed to testify next week before the senate intelligence committee? >> reporter: no, randi, no link that we've found whatsoever. i think if you look at the reasons that the general gave when he gave his letter to the employees of the cia yesterday, disclosing such personal details that would be embarrassing, harmful to his family members, you have to wonder whether there would really be any other motivation that would cause someone to write

is that appropriate, knowing that the talking points originated from the cia? >> well, i think it's interesting that, you know, we sort of woke up this morning thinking that the firestorm over susan rice specifically might be dying down based on things that mccain said on sunday and that others have said. it seemed like he was getting ready to ease off of her, getting ready to give her the benefit of the doubt, getting ready to broaden the focus to the president. something about this meeting they had seems to have really inflamed senator mccain, senator graham, senator ayotte where even though susan rice initiated this meeting and it did seem there was a possibility of smoothing over the tensions, it had the opposite effect and the ambassador may now be feeling like she's caught in an impossible position. if she tries to subdue these fires, she provokes them anew. if she doesn't do anything, she's criticized for that, too. >> was it an impossible mission as molly -- she didn't categorize it as athat, but it certainly comes off that way, especially when powerful

is your beef with the cia and not susan rice? >> if that's the information that she got, the question is, who did she get it from? was it changed from the time from are either mike morell got it or somebody else? we're going to get to the bottom of this. i think that's a clearly important topic for the intelligence committee to look at. my belief is, our chairman, dianne feinstein, is as eager to get to the bottom of this as any republican on that committee. and we will. >> senator blunt, i want to get your reaction to what mitt romney was overheard on a donor conference call saying yesterday as to why he lost. do you agree with his assessment that he lost because of gifts? >> because of what? >> gifts, if you will, to certain constituency groups. >> i didn't -- i didn't hear the comment. and don't know the context of it. i think we lost because the president turned out more voters in the battleground states than anybody thought he was possibly going to be able to turn out. and the mechanics of politics matter as wells as the mes

that is largely a cia question, and largely something that will be resolved in the secure conference rooms where we won't hear what is going on there, and it is a political matter and the scandal won't go anywhere and it is quickly crowd out by much more significant things such as what is going on in the middle east right now. >> and what we are hearing is from people like saxby chambliss who says that he wants susan rice to come out and say she is wrong as well. what about that, jackie? >> well, the wagons are circling around her in a lot of ways from the democrats, and you saw that saying that she was following the approved talking points that she was given, and i don't know if that is going to happen, but again, we will see where it goes when we start to talk about a new secretary of state. >> all right. jackie, thank you so much. and dana and jackie, have a great week. >> thank you so much. >>> and a top republican is questioning president obama whether he knew about the general petraeus scandal before the election. house committee chair mike rogers said it is possible and said a
